“For the first hour, all the opening doors on the Enterprise are accompanied by a nice door-opening sound effect stolen from Star Trek. But by this point in the movie, the Turkish audio engineers have lost interest. Now whenever someone walks into a room, somebody off camera makes the sound ‘swwwsh!’ with their mouth two to three seconds after the door opens. For some reason this seemed more riveting to me than Nancy running around the ship licking people’s faces and disguising herself as different crew members.” —Turkish Star Trek Rip-Off… Or SomethingThe Wave)

So, have you seen it?
As a “serious film”, this works about as well as brushing teeth through one’s asshole. As a comedy, it’s just about as amusing as that process, only now done with an electric toothbrush.
Thanks for your perspective… the gradual change in the sound effects is a deliberate joke. Yes, that actually makes sense.
What nobody seems to understand is that the film was meant to make fun of the original series. The Turist Omer character is simply not supposed to be there (he is an 70s character of Istanbul) and that is the source of absurd comedy.
Unlike the other examples (“Turkish StarWars” ect) this film is originally made as a cultural comedy. And it is a good one..
